My mom and her human son were at a bird expo north of Tampa on St. Patrick's Day, 2001. I was pacing back and forth in a very small travel cage, hoping someone would see me and want to take me home. My container was in the back of the vendor's booth, but they still saw me, and asked a few questions. They said they liked my long eyelashes but they walked away, and I thouhgt I would never see them again. At the end of the day, they both showed up again, and I saw money being exchanged. I was very happy, but they didn't take me home. They didn't have a cage for me at their house, because they never lived with a bird, of any kind before. Two days later, they came to pick me up, and take me to my new forever home. It was a learning experience for all, the next 3 months, but they did all the right things to make me happy, content, and loved. The vet said they were very lucky to find such a good and healthy second hand bird. My past is my secret, and I'm not even telling my age. They knew from my leg band that I was wild caught in Central America, and came to the US through California. Now I live here in Wisconsin with my forever family. I love them all, but my mom is my favorite..

HI ECHOFLYING BY TO WISH YOU A MOST HAPPY HATCHDAY. HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A BALL CELEBRATING ON YOUR SPECIAL DAY.

Boo Boo and Cori have kegs of green beer and start filling up frosty mugs and handing them out to all their friends.

St. Patrick's day is a feast celebrated yearly on March 17 (except when it lands on Catholic spiritual holidays). St. Patrick, aka St. Paddy, is the patron saint of Ireland and is celebrated by wearing green, drinking green beer (usually Guiness, but sometimes substituted with Irish whiskey or Baileys Irish cream), and eating Irish food. Traditionally, those who don't wear green are pinched on St. Patrick's day.

Hello EchoIt's been great! It's been fun! But now that it's all done, I want to say thanks for being a part of the Amazon Rainforest Raiders. I had a really good time playing baseball on the same team as you. Even though we didn't make it to the Championship Games (we were oh so close though!), I'm going to remember this season as one of the best.

Hello Echo~I hope everything is going great and that you are enjoying your summer!! We have a game Thursday and I hope you will be able to make it! I'll have lots of snacks and drinks for all of us! I hope you can join Ceasaur and me before the game. We will be there early to get some warm ups done and I hope we can spend some time together before the game starts! Leaving a vote and a hug! With love from Sugar

Hello Echo!Fellow Amazon Rainforest Raider here to say SEE YOU AT THE STADIUM TOMORROW!!

Our first game's about to be played and I can hardly wait. I've been throwing balls and blocks, beads and every other round thing I could find on my cage top all in the name of baseball practice and preparedness. Can't say I've gotten in a lot of batting practice unless you count the times I've babbed mom in the face with a wing on take off.

Hi Echo~How's everything going? Nothing exciting around here. I've been watching the gardeners mow the lawns! It smells really good and it's always fun to watch them! It's been nice here for a few weeks and I am amazed at all the sunshine! We are not use to this!hehehehehe We start playing baseball on Monday so it will be great to be able to spend some time with you!! Enjoy your day! Love, hugs and a vote ~ Sugar
